I'm finding it rather difficult to buy real Lithium Ion batteries (like
18650s) online. By real I mean something like Panasonic etc. I've had
Chinese unbadged ones before and they've held 1Ah instead of the rated
2.6Ah. The "Genuine" ones don't seem to look like they used to, no makers
badge and fancy colours, just a plain green shell with some black
writing. Are these real?


7Dayshop is a genuine company. I've been using them for a few years,
although their own-brand rechargeables, are no more than medium quality.

Putting 18650 into their search gives :-

That answers my question - the ones they call genuine Samsung look very plain, I would have thought Samsung would want them to look better than that to avoid copies:
